No. 15 Florida Gators (28-7)

Since winning back-to-back national championships with the Gators in 2006 and 2007, taking a five-year, $27.5 million deal from the Orlando Magic and then ultimately deciding to stay in Gainesville, Billy Donovan hasn't been in the spotlight much at all.

In fact, after Florida's second title, Donovan had to replace his entire team and missed out on the NCAA tournament altogether for two straight seasons.

A first-round exit against BYU last year was actually a step in the right direction.

This year, an experienced club led by seniors Vernon Macklin, Chandler Parsons and Alex Tyus went 28-7 and captured the SEC regular season crown. They lost in the finals of the conference tournament to Kentucky.

Donovan molded Parsons into the SEC player of the year despite being the conference's 25th-leading scorer.

Parsons, a 6'9" forward, does everything for the Gators. He shoots threes, plays sound defense, generates assists and fights for rebounds.

The attitude of doing everything you can on the court has allowed this team to gel and share responsibility in order to win games.

There may be no stars on this Gators roster, but they certainly play like a unit.

Cougars on Offense

- According to tempo adjusted efficiency, BYU has the eighth-most efficient offense in the country.

- BYU turns the ball over on just 15.3 percent of its possessions, the third-best mark of any team in the country. Wisconsin is No. 1 in this category.

- The Cougars shoot 76 percent from the charity stripe, the 15th-best mark among all teams.

- Jimmer Fredette will be the best point scorer on the court at all times. He has gone for 30 or more points in six of his past seven games. This included a 52-point day against New Mexico in the Mountain West tournament.

- Jimmer has also done it to Florida before.

Weaknesses

- The Cougars rarely get offensive rebounds. They rank 222nd in this category, and this includes data from when they did have Brandon Davies.

- They tend to live and die by the three-point shot. BYU ranked 282nd in its percentage of points coming from inside the arc.

- If Jimmer gets shut down, the game is over. Senior guard Jackson Emery is a good shooter himself, but he's not in Jimmer's class.

Gators on Defense

- The Gators defend the three-point shot well, finishing 30th in the country. This spells trouble for Jimmer's outside shooting.

- They are good at avoiding shooting fouls and letting the opponent get to the line.

- They rebound well enough defensively, though they are not an elite unit by any means.

Weaknesses

- They don't generate a lot of turnovers. Florida is ranked 219th in terms of getting the ball without a shot being taken. This could pose a problem with BYU's phenomenal ability to hold on to the ball.

- They don't defend two-point shots well or get a lot of blocks despite their size.
